Office Laptop recommendations 700€ - 900€
(feditown.com)
I hope it's alright to post this question here. Please direct me to a more appropriate commuity if not.
Anyways, my sister's looking for a new laptop and I decided to lend my expertise. I've got a list of various requirements, but maybe some of them are too strict or I'm missing something.
Usage
- Mostly office & webbrowser
- Some light gaming (Minecraft, SWTOR, Drakensang)
- Youtube playback in the background while gaming
Current laptop
Hard Requirements
Stuff that's absolutely required
- Budget 700€ - 900€
- 14" screen size
- <1.6 kG weight
- min. wifi 5 (802.11ac)
- >250cd/m^2 display brightness
- all-day battery life (>8h)
- Windows 11 (I won't evangelize Linux to her)
Soft Requirements
Additional requirements I thought off, though I'm open to modifying those
- >4 core CPU
- 16GB RAM (Most laptops still come with 8GB. Is that ok for current year multitasking on Windows?)
- >480GB storage (I'll have to check her current usage with her, maybe 256GB is fine?)
- 2x USB-A ports
- USB-C charging
- HDMI/DP Port
- internal GPU only (the games run okish on the old laptop already, so anything newer should also be better)
Some options
These are some options I found. I'd like to hear some thoughts/opinions on those. (links are to the UK site for english language, for prices I'm looking at the german site variant)
- 700€ Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14ABA7 82SE007NGE
- Some IdeaPad 5 models have screens with pretty bad sRGB coverage source
- Only review I found of this lineup
- 750€ Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G4 IAP 21DH000QGE
- Review by Notebookcheck of the Ryzen model
- Review Laptopmedia
- Apparently bad battery life compared with the others
- 750€ Huawei MateBook D 14 (2022)
- 790€ HP EliteBook 640 G9 81M82AT
- Also review by Laptopmedia
- Much better sRGB coverage thatn the IdeaPad 5
